2015 INCITE Call for Proposals Closes June 27, 2014

The Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program is now accepting proposals for high-impact, computationally intensive research campaigns in a broad array of science, engineering, and computer science domains.

From April 16 to June 27, INCITE’s open call provides an opportunity for researchers to make transformational advances in science and technology through large allocations of computer time and supporting resources at the Argonne and Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (LCF) centers, operated by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science.

The winning proposals will receive awards of time on Mira, the 10-petaflops IBM Blue Gene/Q at Argonne, and Titan, the 27-petaflops Cray XK7 at Oak Ridge. INCITE will allocate approximately 5.75 billion core-hours on these DOE leadership-class supercomputers in 2015. Proposals may be for up to three years.

Open to US- and non-US-based researchers, the INCITE program seeks research proposals for capability computing: production simulations—including ensembles—that use a large fraction of the LCF systems or require the unique LCF architectural infrastructure for high-performance computing projects that cannot be performed anywhere else.

Applications undergo a two-phase review process to identify projects with the greatest potential for impact and a demonstrable need for leadership-class systems to deliver solutions to grand challenges.

To submit an application, please visit http://proposals.doeleadershipcomputing.org for details about the proposal requirements. Proposals will be accepted until a call deadline of 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, June 27, 2014. Awards are expected to be announced in November 2014.
